StarVaders is an innovative take on turn-based tactics combining fast-paced combat with roguelike elements and deck-building mechanics. Set in a vibrant, retro-futuristic galaxy threatened by alien forces, players command a modular mech to fend off invasions across dynamic, procedurally generated battlefields.

In StarVaders, each mission presents a strategic puzzle where movement and card-based abilities are key. With a fast-paced turn system, players must adapt quickly as enemies evolve and new hazards arise. As you progress, you'll unlock new cards, upgrades, and mech modules, allowing for diverse playstyles—whether you favor brute force or tactical precision.

The game features striking pixel art and a synthwave soundtrack, appealing to fans of classics like Into the Breach and Slay the Spire, while offering a unique and challenging experience with every run.
